"no positive women role models"
"protect the children"
"shooting in norway"

Did we expect anything else from a female schoolteacher TD who has no clue what she's talking about?

"They're making money from pornography"

By that logic Michelangelo was doing the same.

18 rated. Has no content that you don't already find in books, TV and movies.

Case closed Hook and friends, nothing more to discuss.

I'd say you will be getting on the end of a longggggggggggg Q

How long can it take? Everyone needs to have paid by then so surely just a few seconds per person to pick up a copy of the game and stamp the receipt. They want to be closed by 1am.

honestly, what is it with middle aged female TD's with double barreled surnames having it in for games?

"parents need to sit their children down and tell them about what's wrong with the game"

ehhh, or parents could just not buy 18s rated games for their kids?

Just be glad we havent heard from the Fianna Fail mouthpiece with no brain Niall Collins

Sorry, we want the government to raise your kids, not the parents.

hahahaha really?! At 6pm?! Wow.

I'm leaving mine at 11.45pm to get to Stephens Green Gamestop about 00.10am

Jaysus, George can't get over that stripper :pac:

Sounds great

Yay my copy is dispatched! Thanks Gamesnash

DarkJager

Where are ye hearing of queues already lads? They must surely be people with no pre order, there's just no other reason to queue for 6 hours

"Now I've only seen a trailer on youtube"

then shut up about something you're admitting your own ignorance about George.

By this logic why isn't this TD asking for tv shows like Game of Thrones to be banned? it's easier to watch stuff like that than play GTA for most kids, I don't know any 12 year olds who have a spare 65 quid lying around.

Anyone around xtravision in clondalkin?? Queues yet???

Xbox 360 users, do not intall the play disc as it affects performance

Thinking the same myself (only paid €5 euro off mine tho) But have heard once it's pre-ordered a copy will be reserved for me for 48 hours. So i dunno... I probably wouldnt play it later tonight. but at least i'll have the copy. Decisions Decisions, lol.

I couldn't decide either but come on, it's GTA. Unless it is hammering down later I'll head out tonight.

Same as myself. I don't think I can justify driving into town just to pick it up. Most likely wouldn't even play it when I got home.

Still though, I want to have it in my hand asap!

I know I said a few days ago that it might be pointless to buy a guide, but I think I might pick this up later:

I cancelled my preorder that I placed on Saturday because of all this shíte, they weren't sure when they'd get their new stock in etc.

Reality is, they won't care what R* says.

20 minute drive into Dundalk. Have to work for a few hours in the morning and already tired due to flu. If I got it tonight I more than likely would stick it on just for a 'minute'

Obviously though I'd end up playing it all night and be fcuked in the morning!

I just called Tesco in Clearwater and they said they're not selling it until midnight. Stores are open until 1am to accommodate it

Maybe they sold it to the guy by accident though?

hmm.. I have heard of Tesco selling games early before so it wouldn't surprise me, but the girl on the phone made it quite clear that they're not selling until midnight. Maybe that's just what they're telling people to cover their asses!

TheBoss11

I MIGHT be able to get my hands on one early if any of you want to buy one? MIGHT! Be able to
